Made up climate data - Update

Last November I posted about a revelation that the UK weather bureau (the Meteorologic Office) had 113 weather stations in Britain that were reporting daily temperature data, but which actually didn't exist at all:

I've posted many times about how the temperature data is modified after its initial collection, but this takes the cake.  One third of UK weather stations simply do not exist

 A full third of the database is imaginary.  Except not so fast, said the "experts".  Those 113 weather stations don't exist, but the data is based on nearby, well-sited (i.e. high quality) different stations.

Hmmmm.  So can we get a list of those stations?  Well, not really:

Last year the UK Met Office was shown to be inventing long-term temperature data at 103 non-existent weather stations. It was claimed in a later risible ‘fact check’ that the data were estimated from nearby well-correlated neighbouring stations. Citizen super sleuth Ray Sanders issued a number of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to learn the identity of these correlating sites but has been told that the information is not held by the Met Office. So the invented figures for the non-existent sites are supposedly provided by stations that the Met Office claims it cannot identify and are presumably not recorded in its copious computer storage and archive.  [Bold by me - Borepatch]

I think we've heard something like this before.

Err, the dog ate their homework?  Man, and you wonder why people don't trust climate scientists?  And remember - most people don't know a tenth of the shenanigans that climate scientists are up to, and they still don't trust them.  Quite frankly, the are 100% correct not to trust them.

As I posted last November, this post is tagged "Junk Science" and "Climate Bullshit" because, well, you know.
